Donald Trump claims that the deal was too lenient and that Iran had broken parts of the agreement, including heavy-water limits and access to international inspectors. In 2015, the U.N. Security Council makes up six world powers: U.S., U.K., Russia, France, China and Germany. In 2016, Iran shipped tons of low-enriched uranium to Russia.

The Obama administration released billions of dollars of impounded Iranian money as Trump described it as giveaway money that has reduced American leverage for any deal.

If Trump withdraws from the agreement, Iran can buy back the low-enriched uranium from Russia and create a serious threat to the world. The agreement keeps alive a contract with Boeing and Airbus, which is worth billions of dollars, as Iranian officials suggested they would abandon the agreement if Trump withdraws from the deal.

Trump needs to keep the agreement and make it stronger to address human-rights abuse, missile development and other non-nuclear transgressions.

I think the idea of allowing people without transponders to just “pop into” the FasTrak lane is going to ruin it for those of us who have obtained the transponder and follow the rules.

I primarily use it to get to Los Angeles International Airport on the 110 Freeway. Under the scenario outlined in your editorial, all the regular lanes are jammed, I am late to a flight at LAX but have the transponder and then others who don’t jump into the lane. All of a sudden the FasTrak lane becomes just another lane on the freeway.

Also, the idea of “popping into” lanes can cause fatalities, especially when people cross over the unbarricaded lines on some areas of the 110 where FasTrak traffic is going 65 mph from a dead stop. To obtain a transponder is not expensive. It just takes a little foresight.

A nation of laws

We are a nation of laws and not of men, and that, my friends, is why Donald J. Trump will soon be removed as president of the United States of America. Amen.
